Maybelline Color Elixir Review + Swatches



Hi everyone

I got a few different shades of the Maybelline Colour Elixir Lip Glosses recently so I thought I would write a review and swatch the ones I got. 

I really like the formula of these lip glosses. They aren't too sticky and have a smooth, balm type consistency but still stay on your lips. They have a sponge applicator with a point for good precision when applying and lining the lips perfectly. These glosses also don't feel overly drying. A bad thing about them is they don't taste very nice so avoid getting any in your mouth!
They are very pigmented and the colour is amazing! There is 20 shades which are all beautiful ranging from nudes to deep berry/purple shades. 



I got 4 shades which are all limited edition. I couldn't find any of these shades left online but there may still be some left in stores if you're lucky! You can buy the other 20 shades here.


040 - I'm Blushing
This is a light pink/nude shade that is quite similar to my natural lip colour. This shade is a bit more sheer than the other shades I got but still has a good amount of pigment.

030 - Luminous Lilac
This one is a nice lilac purple that isn't too bright or intense so is very wearable. It is more pigmented than the last one so the colour looks amazing.

035 - Luxe in Lilac
This one is more of a purple than lilac. It is brighter than the last one and is also very pigmented. This is probably my favourite of the 4 shades I got. (It is actually more purple in person than it is in the photo).

025 - Radiant Raspberry
This one is a coral red colour and is quite bright but still wearable. This one is also the most pigmented of the 4 shades I got.
